Abstract
A program of research was conducted to determine the design requirements for a prototype image processing system to provide high-resolution video images of mail pieces—irregular parcels and pieces, flats, and letters—and enable highspeed data entry of coding information by operators. Experiments were performed to determine effective image transition methods, pacing strategies, and image preview methods for entering numerals from ZIP Codes of mail piece addresses on a 10-key keyboard. Results showed performance advantages of response speed, throughput, and fewer misses for fade-out transition between images, combined operator and machine pacing, and image preview by early transition to the next image in queue.
